Welcome to Misplaced Pages. We welcome and appreciate your contributions, including your edits to Megatron (Transformers), but we cannot accept original research. Original research also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. Doniago (talk) 01:54, 12 July 2011 (UTC)

Eddie Brock

Hi. Welcome to Misplaced Pages, and thanks for working to improve the site with your edit to Eddie Brock, as we really appreciate your participation. However, the edit had to be reverted, because Misplaced Pages cannot accept unsourced material or original research. This includes material lacking cited sources, or obtained through personal knowledge or unpublished synthesis of previously published material. Misplaced Pages requires that all material added to articles be accompanied by reliable, verifiable sources explicitly cited in the text in the form of an inline citation, which you can learn to make here. If you have any other questions about editing, or need help regarding the site's policies, just let me know by leaving a message for me in a new section at the bottom of my talk page. Thanks. :-) Nightscream (talk) 03:26, 26 July 2011 (UTC)

The edit summary is not a place to discuss content, but is used for summarizing the content of the edits. If you have questions concerning the reversions, please use the relevant talk pages to discuss, instead of reverting. Thank you. Sudo Ghost 09:54, 26 July 2011 (UTC)

Agreed. You do not violate Misplaced Pages's policies on Original Research, Synthesis or Verfiability "to ask a question". If you want to ask a question, then you simply ask it. You can do this on article talk pages, or on the personal talk pages of individual editors you wish to communicate with, much as others have done right here.

As for which sources are appropriate, they are those that are generally considered to be credentialed, or have a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy. For comics, examples would be sources such as Wizard magazine, Comics Buyer’s Guide, The Comics Journal, Newsarama, Comic Book Resources, books by analysts like Danny Fingeroth, interviews on DVDs of movies adapted from comics, as well as any mainstream press stories in publications like Time magazine, The New York Times, Publishers Weekly, Entertainment Weekly, TV Guide, etc. For a somewhat more in-depth explanation, my explanation to another editor here might be useful, as would Misplaced Pages:Identifying Reliable Sources.

Also, please remember that articles are supposed to be summaries of the topic, and subsections more peripheral to the main sections even more so. Sections on appearances of a character in media other than in the one the character is mainly known to appear in should be summarized even more succinctly. Detailed blow-by-blows of the entire plot of a film that are not necessary for a reader's understanding of character's appearance in a film, for example, are not appropriate. In the case of Eddie Brock and \i{Spider-Man} three, more detail would probably be warranted in the article on that film. Nightscream (talk) 11:48, 26 July 2011 (UTC)

Edit Warring at Venom (comics)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Venom (comics). Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

In particular, Misplaced Pages's policy on edit warring states:

Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made; that is to say, editors are not automatically "entitled" to three reverts.
Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you continue edit warring, you may be blocked from editing. Sudo Ghost 09:56, 26 July 2011 (UTC)

Hello, Jdogno5. You have new messages at SudoGhost's talk page.

Your recent edits

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Misplaced Pages pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You could also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you. SineBot (talk) 01:13, 27 July 2011 (UTC)

Welcome to Misplaced Pages. We welcome and appreciate your contributions, including your edits to Abraxas, but we cannot accept original research.

Editing Lola Bunny

Woah, calm down there! What was all that about? Do you need any help? It looks to me as though you're trying to fix the article, but you keep undoing and redoing your own edits. Let me know on my talkpage if you need a hand. Yunshui (talk) 12:35, 15 September 2011 (UTC)

Thank you for your contributions to Misplaced Pages. In your recent edit to Lola Bunny, you added links to an article which did not add content or meaning, or repeated the same link several times throughout the article. Please see Misplaced Pages's guideline on links to avoid overlinking. Thank you. Karl 334 15:29, 15 September 2011 (UTC)

Demons and Norse mythology and legend

I have undone your edits adding Loki, Surtr, and Guðmundr to Category:European demons. While I appreciate your edit summaries and understand your thought process, this categorization is not reflected in the scholarly sources because it is alien to Norse mythology and to the Viking ethos, which includes among the heroes many characters one would not want to have to deal with in modern society. You are unconsciously drawing on your own religious and moral background rather than on the sources; unless the article refers to scholars characterizing a figure in this precise way, it's inaccurate to include them within the category. (In the case of Loki and Surtr, the nature of a jötunn often involves moral ambiguity or outright enmity against the gods; in the case of Guðmundr, Otto Höfler's theories of his origins are closer to a nature spirit or a Greek daimon than to what we mean in modern English by a demon, and in any event are theories of his origins; in the legends about him, he was a human king. Yngvadottir (talk) 02:31, 29 January 2013 (UTC)

Ra's al Ghul

You've been reverted, discuss the changes you want on the talk page not the edit summaries.

Right now you are seriously disrupting the article just to get you preferred way.

Category: Fictional interdimensional beings

Hi, seems we have a bit of a disagreement over whether DN shinigami are interdimensional or not. Can I suggest that your category is misnamed, and would be better as e.g. ] or similar? The shinigami *are* interdimensional, that's just fact; they come from a world which is not part of our physical universe. Vashti (talk) 08:02, 21 July 2013 (UTC)

Just to keep you informed, I've put up a request to have the category renamed here. Vashti (talk) 09:38, 27 July 2013 (UTC)

List of Loonatics Unleashed characters

By "speculative," I meant that you were speculating -- when you add things things like "and possibly Queen Ty'Rahnee," you're just guessing and have nothing specific to base that claim on. Statements without any basis shouldn't be added to articles. Trivialist (talk) 11:41, 19 August 2013 (UTC)

But unless you have a source for that, you can't put it in an article. Trivialist (talk) 00:29, 20 August 2013 (UTC)

The article was completely unreferenced and original research, so it didn't meet basic Misplaced Pages article standards. Trivialist (talk) 00:41, 20 August 2013 (UTC)

If you can find references, sure. Though it might be better added to the main Loonatics Unleashed article, unless there's a lot of information. Trivialist (talk) 00:52, 20 August 2013 (UTC)

WP:Original research and moving articles

This and this edit you made are unacceptable, like I noted here and here. You are not supposed to engage in WP:Original research (read that policy), which includes WP:SYNTHESIS, and you are not supposed to move articles based on faulty reasoning...such as "What if it's a woman? Then it would be a 'Goddess Complex'." Gods can also be women, though "the God" is generally considered to be male. Misplaced Pages has a title policy that it goes by; see Misplaced Pages:Article titles. One aspect of that policy is WP:Common name. Do I need experienced Misplaced Pages editors such as BD2412 to assist me in explaining that to you? And this revert you made was of course unwise, for reasons noted in these edit summaries.

Re: Harry Potter

Your recent edits to Harry Potter (character) are being reverted because they're unsourced original research (mentioning his study habits is particularly unnecessary). Rowling already has discussed Harry's character flaws in the "Personality" section and as mentioned in the edit history, they do not need to be added a second time in there via a randomly tacked-on sentence, plus it's nothing more than your personal opinion on the topic. As for citations, the books are not a reliable source in determining Harry's personality traits because anyone can read them and draw their own conclusions about his behavior therein that may not be accurate and is based solely on their interpretation of the content. Accounts by Rowling herself or any notable figures connected to the series (books and films) in third-party sources are more appropriate. Believe me, I'm not here to start an edit war, but rules regarding addition of content need to be observed. sixtynine 06:07, 28 February 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for understanding, Jdogno, and it's not about "conceding" anything, just working to resolve the matter. It's obvious that there was no malice behind your edits and it was in the name of trying to improve the article. Take care. sixtynine 02:51, 1 March 2014 (UTC)

No prob. Keep on keepin' on. sixtynine 02:51, 8 March 2014 (UTC)

March 2014

Your recent editing history at Space Jam shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. Favre1fan93 (talk) 03:06, 19 March 2014 (UTC)

Please do not add or change content, as you did to Space Jam, without verifying it by citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Misplaced Pages:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Betty Logan (talk) 03:20, 19 March 2014 (UTC)

I see you have reverted again at Space Jam. This issue was raised at the Film project and you can find a fuller explanation for my revert at Misplaced Pages talk:WikiProject Film#Content change and trivia edition over at Space Jam. It would probably be better if you follow WP:BRD i.e. if someone reverts you it is better to resolve the issues through discussion. Betty Logan (talk) 03:55, 19 March 2014 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing, as you did at Space Jam. Your edits have been reverted or removed.

If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page. Alternatively you can read Misplaced Pages's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Misplaced Pages's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive until the dispute is resolved through consensus. Continuing to edit disruptively may result in your being blocked from editing. Fortdj33 (talk) 04:25, 19 March 2014 (UTC)

Define Disruptive

Jdogno5 (talk) 04:26, 19 March 2014 (UTC)

Your edit warring and inability to take it to the talk page before you actually did. And the inability to read the guidelines linked in three editors' edit descriptions to possibly see what you were doing that caused three editors to revert your additions. Favre1fan93 (talk) 04:38, 19 March 2014 (UTC)

Well unless those three editors explain what they feel is wrong, how I am supposed to know what is wrong? Linking to guidelines without a clear explanation for how these guidelines are actually relevant doesn't help anybody.
